Presidential Candidates - Debate in NH

Contesting in Presidential elections is a challenging task.

I personally liked John Edwards. He seized the moment and explained the audience how personal his contest is. I think the audience connected with him. He got his message through conveniently and successfully.

The presidential candidates in the republican debate were beating around the bush. There were no direct answers. For instance, the Republicans failed to answer a simple of question from the President. The president asked for the principles based on which they are running. Most of them gave out their policies.
I think the correct language here is to first list out their principle and state an example from the past and state an example from the future.

The democrats kept repeating what they did earlier. Only John Edwards was different and he really got his message through by citing a personal situation. He said running for President for him was personal.

Apart from this, whatever happened to humbleness. All the candidates were boasting about their achievements. I guess that is the language of politics. Bill Richardson kept on repeating his energy secretary experience and foreign policy. Hillary Clinton about her 25 years of experience. Obama about his fresh face. John Edwards seems to me as a reasonable guy who showed positive energy when debating.

A comparison table such as the "issues matrix" is a must see for voters before the choose sides.
